The Case of the Missing 30 lbs
If I were referring to 30 lbs of fat, I don’t think many people would try to find where that lard went wandering off to. However, I’m referring to dumbbells. Not the guy… you get the point.
Everyday, I take a few minutes out of my day to get a little exercise. It’s a nice break from work, and helps to get the creative juices flowing again. (Not to mention a reduction in waistline!) It’s amazing; the side effects of exercise.
Today was no different, except for the fact that the 30 lbs dumbbells were missing! I don’t mean to complain, but these weights are community property. Whoever has them sitting at their cube, please return ASAP! You are seriously infringing on my, and others’, workout.
Thanks!

Tricks Without The Treats
All right! What’s the deal? Halloween is one of my favorite holidays throughout the year. It’s a time to get dressed up in an otherwise despicable outfit that you wouldn’t be caught dead in any other of the 364 days of the year. I love dressing up and scaring the youth as the travel from house to house pleading for their sugar-filled booty. I look at it as my responsibility to provide the TRICK, while the neighbors produce the TREAT.
Unfortunately, I’m in no howling mood this year. And to think, I had concocted the most horrifying experience I would have ever pulled off in years past. But alas, I’m just going to watch it slip by. Why?
Has it actually happened? Have I become too old to be overcome in the holiday of howls?

One Bad Apple…
…can spoil the whole bunch!
It’s a shame that some people don’t know how to play fairly on the playground.
I typically leave comments open for people to post and share their thoughts unrestrained and without filtering. Unfortunately (and this is not the first time) there have been a couple individuals who have felt it necessary to profane on my Web site.
I don’t take kindly such activity, and feel that it is a display of ill repute.
Therefore I will be moderating comments, effective… ummm… now!
For those of you who do play fairly, I’m very sorry. I will attempt to moderate comments on a regular basis and make sure they are up within a day or so. I do enjoy getting feedback.
Thanks,
Don

Donny’s Tribute (Round 2)
If you liked the last video, be prepared! I’ve got another coming shortly. And better yet, it’s supposed to be and Entertainment Tonight exclusive! (Yes, that means I have to wait to post. Now I know what it feels like to have a PR person tell me a press release is under embargo!)
So come Monday, I will have another video of my dad giving a tribute to Marie for her upcoming week on Dancing with the Stars!
PS. I’ve already seen it! It’s pretty funny.

A Tribute From Donny to Marie
This is an original video.
After Marie’s dramatic outro from her Dancing with the Stars performance, my dad felt it necessary to wish her well for next week.
The video is a little pixilated, but you get the idea.
Blogging, Blogging and More Blogging
So, this is what you get for finding something you enjoy doing – exploitation! I love to blog. I blog almost daily. Well, turns out that I’ve now begun blogging for the company I’m working for.
Oh well, at least I enjoy it. Also found this picture to go along with my post!
First Day… Crack!
So, little update on the new windshield… Yeah, I got a rock chip! Less than 24 hours! Murphy’s Law, I swear. (ha ha ha)

The Good Things in Life Come Free
I would say that most of us now the value of a dollar, and the meaning of a hard days work. Because of this we, generally speaking, are aware of what things cost – and I’m not talking about the dollar amount. True, when we see an item that costs $180, we tend to think twice about it. But, later justify the purchase by saying, “Well, I guess I’m just going to have to spend a few extra hours in the office this week.”
About a month ago as I was walking to my car after work, I noticed a crack in my windshield. Aggh! I did not need that. Not right now. Especially, since I was about ready to take my car in to get the Safety and Emissions test done. (Well, turns out that my car passed without having to get a new windshield; however, the crack remained.)
I finally decided that enough was enough, and that it was time to get it replaced. I looked for the receipt from when I got my last recent windshield replace (yes, this is the second one in under two years) and decided to give them a call. While on the phone, I asked if the windshield would be covered under warranty since the crack “seemed” to appear from nowhere.
Well, long story short, I got it replaced for FREE!!!
“I can see clearly now, the crack is gone!”
